Her story is ultimately an inspiring one, highlighted by her dedication to the Polish children she helped to care for, who arrived in New Zealand from Persia (now Iran) in November 1944.

STATION XV (podcast)

http://station15.co.nz/

Episode 173 – Truce, Trinity, Transfer, Transgression (April 15, 2022)

Once again, the horror and violence in the Ukraine leads this month's episode, with Pope Francis calling for a truce over the Easter feast. In New Zealand, there's a sense of disappointment as the Vatican rules a cure that had been considered a miracle due to the intercession of Mother Suzanne Aubert could be explained by medical intervention. There's a different sense — one of regret and sorrow — in Dunedin, as the Church renames a college that had been named after a bishop deemed to have not acted appropriately on allegations of abuse some decades ago. We end with some good news — a new pathway for refugees and asylum-seekers — and some weird news, as someone climbs the spire of a New Zealand cathedral while under the influence. A typically mixed bag. We wish our listeners a happy and holy Easter.

Station XV: Episode 172 – Mediation, Vocation, Resignation, Termination
https://station15.co.nz/2022/03/station-xv-episode-172-mediation-vocation-resignation-termination/

In a world watching in horror at what's unfolding in Ukraine, the panel opens the episode with a discussion of Pope Francis' attempts to broker peace in the region. In New Zealand, the priesthood looks set to get a boost from young Vietnamese students, while a priest in the US has resigned from his parish after revelations of invalid baptisms over many years. Elsewhere, new research has found that countries that pass euthanasia laws see related increases in other forms of suicide — a warning for jurisdictions passing such laws. After all that, we need a little classical music to calm the nerves. Can Pope Francis help?

Pope writes his vision for the Church into new constitution for Roman Curia
https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2022/03/pope-writes-his-vision-for-the-church-into-new-constitution-for-roman-curia
Hailed in early news reports for its opening of top Vatican leadership roles to any baptized lay person, including women, the pope's new document outlining the design and function of the Roman Curia enshrines much of Pope Francis's broader vision for the church into the statutes of its governing body ...

Papal consecration of Russia, Ukraine has history of controversy behind it
https://cruxnow.com/cns/2022/03/papal-consecration-of-russia-ukraine-has-history-of-controversy-behind-it
While bishops in Ukraine and Russia are grateful Pope Francis will consecrate their nations to Mary, other Catholics are eagerly awaiting the text of the pope's prayer to see if he does it "correctly." At issue is whether he explicitly consecrates Russia — named out loud — to the Immaculate Heart of Mary when he does the consecration March 25 and whether all the bishops of the world do so at the same time ...

LENT 2022:  "Called to be peacemakers"

Lent is a period of forty days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving in preparation for Easter.

Each year the Lent Appeal is run by Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand on behalf of the New Zealand Catholic Bishops' Conference (NZCBC) to support its work of charity and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable around the world, including New Zealand.

Caritas also makes resources available to guide reflection and prayer throughout the six weeks of Lent on the theme of the year.
The resources for parishes and communities are available here: https://caritas.org.nz/lent  
Lenten resources specifically for schools are here: https://caritas.org.nz/lent-schools

The National Liturgy Office has also prepared a series of weekly reflections and lists of resources for Lent 2022:
